THOTZ on the DEATH PENALTY?

As a Wall, I don’t have an opinion about the death penalty. However, if you are pondering your own viewpoint on the topic, we have a number of books on capital punishment; arguments FOR are in the HV8697s and arguments AGAINST are in the HV8698s. Browse around in O’Neill and probably also the TML.

Is power metal THAT unsophisticated?

Who can say what the appeal of any particular artistic genre is? Many music genres are structurally simple and yet still expressive in ways that speak to an audience, sometimes large, sometimes small, but no less valuable by any potential measure. In short, art is good, and humans should let other humans enjoy what they enjoy.

If you roommate is contact-traced…

are they supposed to wear a mask to sleep since the beds are within 6 feet of each other?

I spoke with a wall at ResLife, and they said that if the beds cannot be moved further than 6 ft, yes, the roommate should wear a mask to sleep. Wishing you and your roommate good health!

I’m rly into this dude we’ve been on 2 awesome dates together. Now it seems like he’s not being as responsive to my texts and I’m prolly gonna find out tmr if he’s still interested in seeing me …

He got a leg injury last weekend so maybe that’s also why he’s being a lil ‘distant’? It’s so easy to engage in black and white thinking when one’s stressed/depressed!

kinda nervous but wish me luck!!! I love that you’re a superspreader of positivity :))

Good luck! You’re right, it’s much too easy to imagine the worst, even in the best of circumstances. Practice imagining the more likely (leg injury = preoccupied), practice compassion (the leg injury must be distressing to him) and as much as you can, let go of events over which you have no control.

Tell me how the Wall got it’s start. I want to hear more about this wall

Ah, it’s a long story that starts with a tumultuous marriage between a sea-wall on the North Shore and a load-bearing interior wall of a formal dining room in a prewar classic 6 on NY’s upper east side, but I won’t go into the details. (Let’s just say I have a more ecumenical view of sports teams than either of my parents. Oh, the stories the green monster and The House That Ruth Built could tell!) I eventually found a home here at BC in the early 80’s, and in early 2017 my librarian assistants finally figured out how to give voice to my longing to communicate with all the smart humans visiting the library. You can see the entire record of my thousands of answers online: library.bc.edu/answerwall.

Hey Wall! Happy holidays!

Thank you for staying open 24/7 and bringing those lovely doggies. So glad to visit you over winter break before I go back for the second half of study abroad! Am I correct that you’re open even during university holiday break (e.g. the week of Dec. 27th)? You’re the top three building on this campus! (Gasson and Maloney are the best buildings b/c of the amazing people working there;))

Happy Holidays to you! I loved seeing the doggies. We’re open over breaks – you can always see our hours here: bit.ly/BCLHours. Wishing you joy in your time abroad and look forward to welcoming you back.

Hey wall!

Seeing campus closes for holidays always make me sad, but knowing you and many amazing humans are there makes me smile! 🙂

Thanks! We miss you, too.
